有冇家長比小朋友係HK讀完s4 or s5

好處:20歲便大學畢業
壞處係咩呢??

另美國大學畢業後
如去UK讀master
會容易入到 UK 大學?

因初次了解美國學制
想向有經驗的家長請教下

thanks a lot!!

香港除左麗斯外

***我見呢度大部份人都揀UK 升學***

成績好的獎學金也不少, 分分鐘比在香港讀書還要平宜。

唔好亂聽人吹,其實好睇小朋友肯唔肯自律讀書,我識幾個讀CC都transfer到好大學如UC Berkeley, Santa Monica, San Diego...人地話讀CC好似唔完整,是什麼鬼話!見工睇你邊間大學畢業就夠,唔通每年成績表都要睇咩?我是過來人,我大仔都係讀CC

美國本地生入CC就唔知係未叻,但國際生入CC就好平常,因係一個路徑,亦可多一些時間適應及考慮大學選科,我女過美國讀一年CC便考入全美排笫六的藥劑學院。

請教一下,有說法美國大學把香港學生歸納為中國人隊伍,入學時為了平衡race / nationality ,名額有限,所以 Ivy League 現在除了有legacy 之外,很少收香港學生。

對嗎?

我對升美國大學vs.英國大學看法:
-美國大學申報程序比英國大學複雜好多:要考SAT,要填好多form,要作application essay,仲係間間大學都唔同application essay
-美國大學畢業後留美工作 會比 英國大學畢業後留英工作 人工高 (特別係IT,投行之類既專業工,扣除稅務洗費之後都高)
-學費:美國大學會稍為貴d
-美國大學多d大學教授同tutor支援,但英國大學普遍比較要自立
-美國一般4年制度,英國一般3年制度。好少聽過係美國/英國讀左1年大學之後可以international transfer去英國/美國銜接year 2
-美國year 1可以唔洗揀科,但英國一入大學就已經要讀個科

不過美國高中就難過英國高中,英國高中考A-level+UCAS真係輕鬆過美國高中考SAT+Advanced Placement+做課外活動(為左入大學加分)

Yes during class discussion, students from HK are generally less creative in ideas.  However, exams and homework are in our blood.  In terms of research and exams, HK students can quickly figure out how to score high on research homework and exams.
That said, I think any students from HK will enjoy studying in USA.

Thanks for sharing.

Do you think the exam-driven education in HK has put us less competitive in creativity and research than the students grown up in the more liberal system in the States?

I must say it is generally easier in exams of community college than at a 4-year university.  But as long as you understand the course materials and is able to demonstrate you understand them (e.g. through writing), there is a very high chance HK students getting A or B in a 4-year university.  It is very hard to get C --- given that any HK students going through 10= years of local crazy exam system in HK would be well trained to handle any exams in any country.
If i remembered right, I got 3.8 GPA when graduating from CC, and about 3.5 or 3.6 from UCLA.  There is not a "curve" at each course.  Both CC and university work this way: at the start of a course, the instructors generally talk about how the final grade is determined e.g. 10% attendance, 50% exams, 40% homework.  You will also know how many % is equivalent to A, A-, B+ etc.  As long as you meet the requirement for A, you will just get A regardless how many people in the class get A.
The only curve I know of is the GPA for getting honors for your degree.  It is listed in the transcript e.g. Magna cum laude: 3.84, Summa cum laude: 3.74, Cum laude: 3.64.  And i think the GPA will shift each year.


The goal of a HK student studying abroad is very clear: come home with a degree; don't come home empty handed.  Therefore, grade A or B or C doesn't matter too much.  Of course, it makes your CV prettier if you got a higher GPA (but doesn't mean you get higher chance of employment neither).

I see.

Is it much more difficult to keep good GPA at UCLA? People say they have grade deflation while the CC and even top private universities have grade inflation.

there is not much issues in catching up the academic matters.

the only issue is about writing. (common problem for hk students).  most homework involves writings for my major. i thought my writing was very ok la because i got A or B in writing courses in cc. but during a compulsory course on English writing in the 1st quarter at UCLA (= 3rd year of my 4 year overall education), the instructor find my writing very very bad. he requested me to see the writing tutor at school before submitting any homework to him.

ucla helped me realize I was probably too confident my myself at writing and provided very specialized help to brush up my writing.

Any disadvantage or catch-up problem for a CC student as compared to freshman admission to UCLA?

(I guess the quality of education at CC is not far from the university)
